Proud Mamma Moment

It is mud season here & I have a huge loop driveway. Paving that sucker is really out of the question in terms of affordability - at least until the kids are out of the house. Ha. Mud is my reality for a couple more weeks. Unfortunately, it means my car looks like I've been 'muddin' in the backwoods of Maine. Let me just tell you, my car looks so awesome sitting in the parking lot at HBS, sitting next to those nice new, shiny BMWs, Volvos, etc. Gotta love it.

Photo Of The Day - #16

Sunglasses

Today's photo is supposed to be sunglasses. It's rainy and gross this morning, so I really don't want to put on my glasses, but I'll surely share with you. I picked these babies up at my fave downtown Gardiner, consignment shop - Girltrend. I bought them for my Reach The Beach relay team because our team name is Need Food Speed & would like to have aviator glasses. Don't you love these? Fun, cheesy & cheap.

I also need to share with you a proud mamma moment. Tonight we'll be heading off to the Harlow Art Gallery in Hallowell to celebrate our little artist, Tucker. One of his art pieces was selected to be displayed at the gallery. And he was the only one in his class to be selected. I am incredibly proud of him and his accomplishment.

Our school has their annual chili supper, art show and music program tomorrow night. I'm excited to see what our little artists have been up to (though everyone gets at least one piece in). I'm not as excited about the chili given the summer-like temps we've had this week. LOL Congrats to Tucker! Sorry to hear about all the mud.

Runners need happy feet. I think the nail polish really adds the happy touch on my feet because we know they definitely are not pretty!
Needing happy feet means sometimes we need to take extra measures to take care of them. Profoot could be the perfect place for you to turn for your foot needs. I was contacted by Profoot a bit ago to try out some of their products. I was happy to do so and Izzy, of course, was pleased to be my little model for the photo shoot. First up - The 2 oz Miracle orthotics

These are great! I cut them to size. Trust me, this is easy because all you had to do is cut along the lines. They are incredibly thin and easy to fit in just about any shoe.

On the way to Mount Washington. I was the crazy, chatty self that I am. And Ward was focused a quiet. I drive him absolutely crazy. And Tucker is sleeping in the back trying to block me out.

PR dinner right here!!!! Nothing says run fast like a huge burger with an onion ring and fries! I remember eating something similar just before I ran the MDI Marathon.

Parking lot yoga on a beautiful day. I wasn't the only one. But maybe I was the only one propping my phone against my water bottle to document it.

Leading up to the 2018 Mount Washington Road Race, I had severe doubts. I wasn't sure what to expect with this race. There are so many factors that go into this race. The training and time I put into the prep work, my fitness level, mental/stress levels, and the weather.

The first time I ran this race was in 2015. I had just run two marathons back-to-back, which were complete flops. Super rainy cold B…
